"When the researchers ran the study again with one key modification, they were able to come up with an intriguing answer to this question. This time around, roughly half of the test subjects were required to remember a bit of gibberish-"7T4$RF%"-and type it in after every five faces that they saw. Obviously, this exercise is highly distracting-and that's precisely the point. It took up thinking bandwidth-and when thus distracted, liberals behaved just as the conservatives had in the first study. Now, they too relied on gender stereotypes to decide whether individuals were gay or straight.

In other words, it appears that liberals and conservatives alike snap to initial, stereotypical judgments about a person's sexual persuasion based on facial features. But liberals then engage in a more elaborate thinking process and often adjust their views away from the stereotype-at least when they're not distracted."

Now THAT is interesting.

okcan I get a simul-post for posting exactly the same thing-same time on FB?

but seriouslythis adjusting of views is exactly what we liberals claim is the difference between us and the gops. this adjusting views, or critical thinking is also why we turn away from religion and conservatism. we want re-evaluate the world and make changes and improvements. they dont want to think.

would be interesting to rerun the test, and ask the respondents to go back and think again about their choices, trying not to stereotype this time.

Typical.

There you go trying to empathize and relate.

God-fearing conservatives call a spade a spade - no need to second guess. I'll bet you dream all day and night about those rigid, glistening cocks as they ram away relentlessly on some poor fool's asshole.

so you're saying that liberals are better critical thinkers than conservatives because you don't stereotype. and then you proceed to stereotype conservatives. brilliant.

not sure why Rob came as the surprise that it did. Dude is basically responsible for the metal-leather connection and he just wanted an excuse to dress the way he did when he was old trolling for strange.

FTA: "Having learned two years earlier that his son, a college junior, is gay, Portman says he struggled deeply with the issue-and finally pulled a Dick Cheney, coming out politically in favor of the same-sex marriages that many grassroots conservatives find viscerally abhorrent."
